Late Nov flush

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

As some are moving their trees inside. I may see 90 today, in L.A. the 4-Winds Lemonade tree it starting a new flush of growth. This was just a stick when I got in spring, but look at it now. It even had a single flower, and then a fruit, that dropped this summer. The tree looks like a good one!

Not growing much taller, but really bushing-out.

Your tree looks great. It is alway nice when our trees are doing well.

I to seem to have the same 'late season growth' problem

Fukushu kumquat on C35. My own grafting from bud 53 on seed grown Fukuishu.

Seed grown Meiwa kumquat tree . Seed is from fruit picked from a grafted Meiwa tree of mine.

Fruit & flowers on my own grafting of a New Zealand lemonade to US897 rootstock.
Why not plant your tree in the ground or plant it in a bottomless upside down pot that has the top the same diameter as the walkway opening.

It will be put in the ground. I just want to give the tree time, maybe another year in the grow bag, to develop a good root system. These bags are really good for that. I have gopher and grub issues at my place. Young trees struggle because of these problems.

You may want to check the web page of the American Association of Botanical Gardens & Arboreta to locate their various member gardens along the way. Several that immediately come to mind are The Des Moines Botanical Center in Iowa, the Missouri Botanical Gardens in St. Louis, Denver Botanical Gardens, Botanica in Wichita, KS, and Myriad Gardens in downtown Okalahoma City. Of course, there are numerous other options as you will see from their web site at: www.aabga.org If you go through Denver be sure and check the restaurants in "Lo Do" (Lower Downtown) as the options are numerous and the scene is lively. The Fort restaurant in Morrison, CO has a wonderful western ambiance though a bit on the pricey side. I hope, if you're driving, you have a 4-wheel drive vehicle for that stretch of I-70 that goes over the continental divide at Loveland Pass. The weather can be very unpredictable at the time of year you are traveling that way. Be sure and check local weather reports before starting out west of Denver. Have a great trip.

No,the Mango fronts it all day. Its been a return to a normal bay area winter Larry and things have held up to rains,and 58f and 42f more or less. So,no help from the drought winters that were 8f warmer in Dec-Jan. Its in a sunny spot- a hot spot in summer time. I only wish it wasn't so close to those roofs..roofs really drain cold air in winter. But,I had no choice on a small lot. I have a feeling a Baileys from seed is 90+% true. Its not like you are going see a tree that's short and round like my Champagne came out to be from seed. I mean,I got lucky..they win unbiased taste tests,they take our cool climate well. I just wished I had known of them around 2000. It would actually be a small tree by now with 10 more years.

Hello. I am not sure if that is even possible . Trees are going to do what they want no matter what, at least mines do. Sometimes I get everything growing at one. Fruit, blooms and new flush. Wish I could help (. mayeb someone here has an idea or an answer for that. Is there a way you can prevent leaf miners? That I would be more focused on.

My FW NZL continues flushing non stop too. No flowers yet but taking into consideration it was so damaged and sickly looking when I got it in September I am extremely happy. I even have a little lemon that survived shipping.
